On Saturday, a protest took place outside the municipal theater in Tunis, organized by the opposition National Salvation Front, to demand the immediate release of political detainees it considered forcibly detained.
The protesters raised slogans calling for freedom and dignity, while some sources pointed to the deteriorating health conditions of detainees as a result of their hunger strike.
Ennahda Secretary-General Ajmi Ouarimi stressed in a speech the need for the immediate and unconditional release of political detainees, considering that they have become detained outside the law.
For his part, Belkacem Hassan, a member of Ennahda’s executive bureau, expressed the continuation of the demonstrations as part of the peaceful struggle, noting the importance of commitment to real and democratic elections.
In other developments, the defense of political prisoners announced that some detainees decided to stop their hunger strike, in response to calls from various quarters, but Jawhar bin Mubarak is still sticking to the strike due to his deteriorating health.
The Commission expressed its annoyance at the refusal of the Mornaguia prison administration to bring Ben Mubarak to attend the appeal hearing of the first instance verdict, considering it a violation of his legal rights.
These latest developments reflect rising political tensions in Tunisia and illustrate the challenges facing the country on its path to democracy and stability.
